The Snow Bird
Where winter reigns supreme,
A bird flutters, like a dream.
Feathers white as snow,
The snow bird dances, winds blow.
Through frosty air with grace,
A streak of white's embrace.
Over peaks and valleys deep,
It sings melodies to keep.
Its song in silent woods,
A hymn of winter’s moods.
Wings spread wide in chilling air,
The snow bird dances, rare flair.
In winter, stark and bold,
It tells courage untold.
A testament to life's glow,
The snow bird thrives where others won’t go.
Summary

Inspirations Behind
I was inspired to write “The Snow Bird” after observing a small, white bird navigating a snowy landscape during a particularly harsh winter. The contrast of its delicate form against the vast, white expanse was striking. This image became a metaphor for resilience and beauty in the face of adversity. The bird’s ability to not just survive but thrive in such conditions spoke to the indomitable spirit of life, a theme I wanted to capture in my poetry.
